Tricare Prime - West

 Hi all!

I am a tricare prime west retiree patient.  Have any of you out there been approved for the VSG on Tricare Prime?

I do not, nor can I see the MTF on post, as they do not take retiree patients.  They barely can see active duty people.  The MTF is not an option for me.  My  Civilian PCM referred me to a bariatric surgeon and my initial consult is March 16th.

Anyone been through this process successfully?

Thanks in advance!
Amy

Everything I have read/researched, is that VSG is only available through TriCare, if done on an MTF. If done with civilian, choices are band or RNY.
